Essentially the SXSW or Treefort of Reno, this “music discovery” fest packs more than a dozen venues with nearly 100 emerging local, regional, and festival-circuit artists, spanning everything from psych rock to honky-tonk to retro soul. Each October, live music lovers crowd Midtown Reno for Off Beat Music Festival. Midtown Renoīut the music doesn’t stop there. Surrounding blocks reveal local theaters, the chic boutiques housed in The Basement of the recently restored Old Post Office Building, the cool cafés and trendy taverns of California Street, the lively Freight House District around Greater Nevada Field (AKA the Reno Aces Ballpark, home of the Arizona Diamondbacks’ Triple-A affiliate), the hands-on art and maker studios and markets down Dickerson Road, and cultural institutions like the National Automobile Museum, Discovery Museum, and Nevada Museum of Art. The Downtown Reno Riverwalk, along the picturesque Truckee River, is a green, sculpture-studded thoroughfare lined with restaurants, coffee shops, craft beer halls, and anchored by island-like Wingfield Park, the site of live music and exciting events, and a harbor for summertime swimmers, river tubers, and kayakers tackling the holes and drop pools of the Truckee River Whitewater Park,, especially during the annual Reno River Festival. It remains the tourist epicenter of a flourishing city that has only gotten more vibrant with time. For decades, millions of visitors each year have flocked to Downtown Reno, home to the famous Reno Arch, the iconic Reno casinos rising from Virginia Street, and street-closing events that draw crowds by the thousands.
